Longtime Agent And Famed Producer Died

Martin Jurow, for seven decades a vital force on the show-business scenes of Broadway and Hollywood, died Thursday evening in Dallas. He was 92 and had been suffering from Parkinson's disease for more than a decade.
During the golden years of Hollywood studio filmmaking, he was executive assistant to movie titans Jack L. Warner and Hal B. Wallis and negotiated the original Hollywood contracts for Burt Lancaster, Kirk Douglas, Elvis Presley, Jack Lemmon, Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis.
